Summary
Predicted to enable hormone activity. Predicted to be involved in signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including flagellated sperm motility; male gonad development; and spermatid development. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Orthologous to human INSL6 (insulin like 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
